A.P.U. (All-Purpose Utility)

[David Dempsey]

I wanted to share my latest entry into the field / utility mix, so here we go;

The APU (All-Purpose Utility Knife) is designed with all-around use in mind. 5/32" thick ATS34 Stainless Steel, 3 1/2" dual-hollow sabre ground drop point blade profile, 7 3/4" oal. The blade bevels have a polished 400 grit finish. The blade flats have a satin hand-rub finish. Stainless bolsters are also satin finished. Stabilized Maple Burl handle slabs are polished and secured with (3) stainless hidden bolts and two-ton epoxy. There are black fiber spacers sandwiched between the handle slabs, tang and bolsters for effect. Enjoy and thanks for taking the time to look!

Regards,

David

I like it. Have you thought about a flat grind?

 

[Keith Montgomery]

I like it the way it is, but a flat grind would be nice too. I love simplicity in a knife.

Very clean work David - I especially like the beautiful satin finish on those bolsters. That's some nice Maple too.

Appreciate the compliments guys. Hey Pyrguy, your right it would be nice in a flat grind as well. I know what you mean also Keith, clean, flowing lines, simplicity is a good thing. That stabilized maple really is nice Wulf, I picked ut up from another maker you might have heard of, Mr. Rickey Folwer at a show in Florida last Oct.
